Based on the great reviews here, I convinced my boyfriend to go diving with me aboard the Calypso. While the staff is friendly and the bathrooms are very clean, the vessel itself is slower than many of the others. This translates in not going out as far into the barrier reefs and missing out on some of the things you... more

A friend who frequently stays in Pt. Douglas recommended Calypso Cruises to us and I am so glad we took the recommendation! The day was fantastic for all of us. My husband who did not dive or snorkel even enjoyed the day. The Calypso is soo clean and well maintained. Dive equipment was in great condition; the sizes of the... more

We went to the Reef on Saturday 23rd May on Calypso and it was great. Beautiful calm weather which lasted the whole day through. The boat itself is gorgeous- lots of space even though it was nearly full. Lots of room to move around. Sun longues on top deck too! The crew were really friendly and informative. The reef talk... more

I was wanting to choose a smaller operator due to not wanting to go with large crowds as I was a novice snorkeller, but I didn't want to go on a small boat, so this was just the right size. The trip out was choppy but the boat handled it very well. When we arrived at the reef and I... more

We only had about 50 people on our tour, the staff were so friendly and helpfull. They spent lots of time with the unexperianced snorklers and made them feel at ease They even came out to educate our children on the wonders of the reef I ve been on about 4 reef tours so far and Calypso would have to... more

We have just returned from a week in Port Douglas and are still raving about our amazing day with Calypso. The trip was arranged with efficiency, great food, knowledgeable staff and a relaxed fun atmosphere. From the pick up from our hotel at 8.40 to the drop off back at Mirage around 5 the whole day went smoothly. As 2... more

This attraction was definitely a highlight on my Australia trip (August 2008). The boat was clean, the staff was friendly, and the selected snorkeling/diving sites were perfect (safe, secluded and full of sealife). I recommend booking the 1 Dive option and snorkel at the second stop ($215/person during my stay). I experienced a full day tour (7 am to 6... more

My husband and I just returned from Australia and one of the highlights of our vacation was visiting the Great Barrier Reef where we both snorkeled and did some diving. We ended up choosing to go out to the outter reef with Calypso, which was one not even on our "list" or one we had reviewed here on Trip Advisor.... more

We took a snorkelling daytrip with Calypso Reef Cruises from Port Douglas. They offer a pickup and dropoff service, where they collect you from your hotel on the day, and take you to the Marina Mirage where the boat / catamaran is docked. The staff were friendly and tried their best to make sure that we enjoyed our trip. They... more
